Anyone can remotely reboot your server?

This is both a question and warning. I’ve recently downloaded a utility called “tweakIP” which will allow you to connect to any NT machine, connect to it’s registry, and set tcp/ip, netbios, etc. options. It also has a “reboot” option. I was able torun the utility on my NT Workstation and not only reboot my PDC, BDC, and other NT machines within my domain, but was able to connect to OTHER NT machines in FOREIGN DOMAINS in which I am NOT a user/member and reboot / change their settings as well!!! Beware !

I also checked the NT event/security log and it did not note anything unusual other than the machine was restarted. [but not who/why]

If anyone has a “lock-out” for this I would be interested to find out.

Regards,
